The BMW Alpina B7 is available in standard- and long-wheelbase versions, and in rear- or all-wheel drive. Pricing for the standard-wheelbase, rear-drive model starts at $128,495, including destination, while the long-wheelbase, rear-drive model starts at $132,395. BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system adds $3000 to the bottom line.

BMW’s Valvetronic throttle-less intake technology has been added to the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8, which is now backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission instead of last year’s six-speed. The Alpina B7 is capable of hitting 60 mph in 4.3-4.4 seconds, according to the automaker. Top speed has increased from 175 mph to 194 mph for rear-drive cars, while all-wheel-drive cars are drag-limited to 193 mph.

The Alpina B7 comes with more than 30 new exterior parts to enhance aerodynamics, cooling, and curb appeal. It also receives revised grilles, updated HID lighting, LED fog lights, and new taillamps. Ceramic secondary controls, engine start-stop capability, and BMW’s Active Protection system are now standard, while full LED headlights, Bang & Olufsen surround sound system, and new exterior colors and interior upholstery choices can be found on the options list. The Alpina B7 rides on 20-spoke, 21-inch alloy wheels.
